Assertion: If leaves removed from a plant are dipped in a cytokinin solution, they stay green much longer than otherwise:
Reason: Cytokinins have an anti-aging effect of certain plant organs like leaves.

In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 

Assertion: Some seeds that normally require certain environmental conditions to germinate, break dormancy if they are treated with gibberellins.
Reason: Gibberellins stimulate the synthesis of digestive enzymes that mobilize stored nutrients

Assertion: In cocklebur [Xanthium strumarium], interruption of the light portion of the photoperiod by a brief exposure of darkness inhibits flowering.
Reason: The cocklebur plant is responsive to day length for induction of flowering.

1. Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Assertion: Unlike plants like mangroves, plants less specialized to cope with oxygen deprivation in water logged soils, respond by producing ethylene.
Reason: Ethylene promotes cynaobacterial growth in the surrounding water that increases its oxygen content.

Assertion: Commercial onion growers store sets at low temperature, but devernalize them before planting.
Reason: It is possible to devernalize a plant by exposure to sometimes low or high temperatures subsequent to vernalization.
